A fullscreen toggle was planned, but it was very far from making the cut during submission hour, go figure. I went for a static fullHD (1920x1080) viewport in the end, and I actually can't reproduce your bug yet (heavy cargo ships display fine for me even in this bottom right corner), but I'll try to fix both of these issues in a post-jam version. The screenshot is much appreciated.\n\nThanks for the suggestions @peremily, @muri, @mncc8337, @magic-mike, @christian-zommerfelds, @destroyertech as well, in that post-jam update, I do plan on improving the cargo management, in particular:\n- it should be possible (and to boot, easy) to see the destinations of the current cargo\n- the current fullness of the ship should be visible while in transit between planets\n- it would be nice to be able to select existing cargo to see its details, and maybe even to jettison it :)\n\nI'm not sure yet if these controls should go into the ship list bar on the top of the screen, or if they should be displayed next to the ship, but it's clear that they are needed.\n\nI also plan to add some visual effect to identify and highlight which ship is currently selected.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1018879,"author_name":"ditam","author_uid":"ditam","epoch":1696791902,"text":"Thanks @steffo, I think over the centuries the names of these Sicilian towns have gone through some minor changes ;)\n\nRegarding cargo types, they currently do not have an effect.
